How Mr.. Perkins Was Convinced.
Prairie Farmer.

A year later, Mrs. Perkins sat
on the back porch, pencil in hand,
wrinkling up her forehead over a
little book and some pieces of
paper which were covered with
figures. But for all the kinks
which were between her eyes,
there was satisfied look about
here face which showed that she
was pleased with the figures.
"There" she said to herself, after
going over her figures the third
time, 81 know that's all right; there
isn't a mistake anywhere. l
wonder what Dan'l will say when
he sees how much we've paid ont
for eggs and chickens since we
sold the hens | don't suppose
that he'll believe my figures, or
his own eyes, hardly; but 1 reckon
Mis- Peters book will convince
him that there is more profit in
keepin' hens; still l don't know;
Dan'l is very set. and it's hard to
make him believe anything he
don't want to.
Just then MIR. Perkins came up
the path from the garden, up the
steps and onto the porch, dropped
down on chair, and commenced
tanning himself with his hat, just
as lie did the year before. But
this time he didn't say, "Confound
those hens" for there was not a
hen on the place, except the one
that was in the oven roasting for
dinner. What he did say was: Il
never knew tomato plants to do
any better than the ones | set out
last week. Theirs some satisfact-
ion in havi'n a garden, when 1 can
have it without havin forty old
hens in it half the time, scratchin'
up things faster than l can set'em
out. Hullol what have you been
fgurin' out, Besty?" 'Tve just
been reckonin' up the chicken and
egg account" answered Mrs. Per-
kins- Well how much is it?"
"Thirty-nine dollars and seventeen
cents" answered Mrs. Perkins.
"Thirty-nine fddlesticksl l don't
believe it," exclaimed Mr.. Perkins
with more force than politeness.
Likely story that we've paid out
that much in a year for chickens,
and eggs. You've made mistake
some where. Let me see the book"
Il shouldn't be surprised if / have
made mistake in addin'," said
Mrs. Perkins as she handed over
the book, "but I've got the number
Of eggs and chickens, and the
prices, down all right, for 1 kept
the book and pencil right in the
kitchen cupboard, and every time
we bought any eggs or chickens l
set it right down. l was very
particular about it, for You was so
set that hens didn't pay for their
-keepin that | wanted TO show you
just how much it cost family
like ours for chickens and eggs.
ldin't s'pose it would count up SO
much, but l haven't used any
more than l did when we kept
hens; in fact L don't think [ used
quite so many. But as L said
before, perhaps l have made a
mistake reckonin' up, you just 90
eover my figures and see if they
are all right. And here is Mis-
Peters book, where she put down
everything sold to us, and the
price, You see she has it all down
just as | have; SO if there is any
slnistake, it must be in the addin'
up.'
